How Men Walk Vs How Women Walk.

[Guest Lily B]

I found this the other day:

http://www.bml.psyc.queensu.ca/Demos/BMLwalker.html

It's a simulation of the walking motions of people, and it lets you change the "gender" of the walk. It's abstracted a level or two so it's easier to understand.

Take it with a grain of salt, of course, but I think it can be pretty useful. It's fairly accurate from what I've seen.

Oh, Lily!

I've seen this before and it is way cool!

Thanks for the link so everyone can see it!

Odd.

I've never noticed men walk so "macho". I knew they walked different from woman, but I never noticed the difference as being so great.

[Guest Annaemo]

Interesting . It kind of shows that men use there shoulders as a centre of gravity and women use there hips using bent arms lined up with there hips.

[Guest Alice_XY]

The woman walks more like she's walking a dotted line, with the legs pointed more onwards and the elbows kept closer to the body

As opposed to the man who wants like a drunken caveman O.O Or maybe a gorilla...

But that's just my thoughts!

Watch runway models -they strut and swing their arms in front of their bodies from the elbows down - no shoulder ovement but the legs actually step infront and outside the opposite one while adding a little bool to the derriere. Practice that and then tone it down a little. Not so much of all at once. You will feel really goodand itcomes easily.

[Guest Wulfhere]

Lol, that was actually pretty amusing to watch...apparently everyone goes into hyper speed when they're walking nervous Anyways, I don't think I pay much attention to how I walk, but looking at it from that whole shoulder vs hip movement perspective, I've definitely always walked like a guy according to this thing. Or, alternatively, like a drunken caveman (sorry, loled at that comment and had to add it in )
